Creativity Tips: Be Amazed

To cover my bases, I have to begin this post the way my grandmother and mother would. God willing ...

This morning, I will be in Kansas City. This afternoon, I will be in New York City*. Isn't that amazing?

Now, your response might be: It's not amazing. It's a plane ride. If so, you're missing something very special -- an opportunity to be dazzled by the creative wonderfulness that surrounds us.

Sure, I've flown on planes before. I've flown a fair amount, on planes both big and small. They're all amazing. The idea that this heavy piece of metal can lift off -- with people inside! and bags! -- and sail through the air, and get from one precise location to another ... well, it never fails to astonish me.

Having just visited the Wright Brothers memorial in Kitty Hawk, I have an even greater appreciation for flight! Such daring men they were. Hope all your flights go off without a hitch...and don't forget to take LOTS of photos!
